it is a lot better than i thought it would be too geordie, aye there is a lot of grease on it but the grease is inside the sheath so everytime i put the sword back in it gets covered with whats left inside the sheath,

if anyone has any ideas on how to get the rest out i would be grateful for any advice

the hard waxy stuff on the blade will dissapear in time as the wax wears off from inside the saya which is there to stop oil fromthe blade soaking into the inside of the saya you can make yourself a tool out of a thin coat hanger form one end into a flattened loopuse a piece of tee shirt about 4 inches by 2 inches put tee shirt into loop push straightend coat hanger into inside of saya work it back and fowardstill the rag comes out fairly clean you,ll not get it all out but will shift all the loose stuff inside.
